Series

The bass, deep bass and contrabass bars may be used individually or in combination with a bass xylophone or a bass metallophone to enhance the fundamental tones of your Orff ensemble. Each bar has an extraordinarily full and colorful sound. Pitches range from C two octaves below middle C on the piano, to the A above middle C.

These bar with individual resonator boxes, are also outstanding for Music Therapy with deaf or hard of hearing students because the vestigial hearing may be stimulated by the tone and contact vibrations transmitted which the deaf may perceive.
